Abstract: A high side driver circuit for controlling the turnoff slew rate to an inductor of a motor is presented. The inductor is selectively connected between a supply voltage on a high side and a reference potential on a low side. The driver circuit has a power transistor having a current control path connected in series between the high side of the inductor and the supply voltage to connect selectively the inductor to the supply voltage. An amplifier has an output connected to a control element of the power transistor. A capacitor connected between a non-inverting input of the amplifier and the reference potential and a current source connected between the non-inverting input of the amplifier and the reference potential are switchably connected between the supply voltage and the non-inverting input of the amplifier for turning on and off the circuit. A feedback path is connected between the high side of the coil and an inverting input of the amplifier. 
     A method for controlling the high side driver turnoff slew rate to an inductor of a motor is presented. The inductor is selectively connected between a supply voltage on a high side and a reference potential on a low side is also presented. The method includes comparing a voltage on a capacitor with a voltage on a high side of the inductor. The capacitor is discharged at a constant rate when the drive to the inductor is turned-off. A voltage derived from the compared voltages is applied to control the current supplied to the high side of the inductor.

Abstract: Recovering from failure of a distributed processing system process designated as a master process for at least one shared resource. The method and system of the invention provides for detection of the failure (200) by one or more of the shadow processes. The detecting process tests (202) to determine whether it has the shared write lock managed by the master process. If it does, it becomes the master process (204). If not, it determines from the shared control file which process holds the write lock (206) and it communicates to that process a request (208) to assume master process responsibilities. That process attempts to establish itself as master process (210). A test is performed (212) to determine if a new master process has been designated. If not, a race is conducted (214) between all shadow processes.

Abstract: A method for influencing biological material is described. The intention is to influence those properties which correlate with the occurrence of natural pulse radiation (atmospherics), namely the rate of proliferation of C6 glioma cells and the survival time of Yoshida ascites hepatoma rats. For this purpose, signals which represent the time course of the magnetic field of certain natural pulse radiation and which are identified on the basis of distinct frequency portions, e.g. 10 kHz, are stored. Corresponding magnetic field courses are reproduced from these signals as artificial pulse radiation. Reproduction takes place, for example, in a Helmholtz coil. The biological material is exposed to this magnetic field.

Abstract: In accordance with the invention, the incoming receiver signal is subject to an envelope demodulation by means of a measuring receiver 2. Subsequently, for a defined measurement time Tges) in defined time differences  DELTA T, the signal is sampled and digitized via an analog/digital converter 3 and stored in a computer 4 as a consecutive sequence of 1-N values of the square of the envelope function R2(t). From these stored values the auxiliary values X' and Y' are generated, whereby Y' is corrected by means of an appropriate correction factor k. Then, the C/I ratio is determined via the proper procedures. The method of the invention distinguishes itself in that, with relatively little expenditure and taking into consideration the typical features of the GSM mobile communication network, and based on the receiving power as a function of time, the C/I ratio is determined from the values of the function of this time function by means of an analytical calculation.

Abstract: A turboexpander, particularly suited for use in a cryogenic rectification system, comprises a center housing (4) rotatably supporting an elongated shaft (1) to opposite ends of which are mounted a turbine wheel (5) within a turbine housing and a compressor wheel (6) within a compressor housing or a brake within a load housing. The turbine wheel (5) has circumferentially spaced turbine blades. Process fluid is introduced so as to flow through annular nozzles or guide vanes (2) which encompass the turbine wheel (5). The guide vanes (2) direct the process fluid through the turbine blades and each extends between a leading edge more distant from the turbine wheel (5) and a trailing edge less distant from the turbine wheel (5). Each guide vane (2) is substantially uncontoured between its leading edge and the trailing edge and is substantially thicker at the leading edge than at the trailing edge. A thermal shield (7) thermally isolates the turbine housing and the process fluid within the turbine housing from the central housing (4) and the lubricant within said central housing. A labyrinth seal (3) construction along the length of the shaft (1) between the bearings and the turbine housing prevents migration of the lubricant along the shaft (1) into the turbine housing and prevents migration of the process fluid out of the turbine housing along the shaft (1) and into the central housing (4). Sealing gas may also be provided to the labyrinth seal (3) construction as an additional expedient to prevent migration of the lubricant along the shaft (1) and of the process fluid out of the turbine.

Abstract: Reluctance force balancing in a direct current motor (1) having a permanent magnet rotor (3) and a salient pole stator (5), in which the relationship of the number of rotor poles (18) to the number of stator slots (23) causes a radial reluctance force unbalance, is achieved by providing pole face slots (25) in the pole tips (11) of the salient pole stator (5). The pole face slots (25) are dimensioned to magnetically characterize the stator slots (23) defined between the salient stator poles (5), and appear the same as the stator slots (23) in the permanent magnet motor circuit. When the number representing the sum of the stator slots (23) plus the pole face slots (25) and the number representing the number of rotor poles (18) are each divisible by the same integer the radial reluctance forces in the direct current motor (1) are balanced.

Title: Antifouling paint composition
Inventor: URBAN CLAUS
IPC: C09D5/16
Filed: 1995-11-13
Abstract: The invention relates to a marine antifouling paint composition comprising a binder system and fibres. Often, paints will, in the absence of the fibres, due to the composition of the binder system, e.g. a high content of gum rosin or rosin equivalents or a high surface tension, have mechanical deficiencies or weaknesses, which, e.g., will appear as a tendency for the paint film to crack when exposed to weathering, when stretched or bend, or upon impact by an object. However, the fibres, which may be organic or inorganic, counteract the mechanical weakness or deficiency of the paint, or reinforce the antifouling paint. The paint composition may further comprise other components such as biologically active agents, antifouling agents, or biocides, pigments, fillers, additives, dyes, and solvents. The fiber-containing paints are used to prepare sea water-erodible or self-polishing coatings for underwater structures such as ship's hulls.

Abstract: A press-connecting terminal is blanked from a pre-plated electrically-conductive metal sheet by a press. A press-connecting groove, formed in this terminal, has a sharp edge portion at an inlet portion thereof. Blanked, sharp edges of the sharp edge portion cut a sheath of a wire. A contact conductive portion is provided below the sharp edge portion. Bent or folded edges of the contact conductive portion contact a conductor of the wire. A plated film is not separated from these folded edge portions, and therefore the contact resistance of these folded edge portions relative to the wire is low.

Abstract: A novel protein having inhibitory activity on the protease activity of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) activator was purified and isolated, and its molecular weight (ca. 30,000 daltons) and partial amino acid sequence were determined. A gene coding for the protein was cloned, and the gene DNA was incorporated into a vector, for transforming host cells. Cultivation of the transformant gave the desired protein. The protein can be used as an  in   vivo  or  in   vitro  control factor for HGF or HGF activator. It is also useful as an antigen to be used in producing an antibody to be used as means for kinetic studies of the protein, or as a standard in assay systems therefor.
